My daughter hooked up my Alexa when she was here at Christmas and I am good to go. She also put a firestick on the television - which we haven't used yet. Not enough time in my day to watch what is already on.

Home automation is pretty cool. The downside of course is when you walk on to the room and the lights don't come on you spend an hour figuring out why. There's a ton you cant do with recipes at ifttt.com. (not cooking recipes either)
